Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
Indicates engine coolant temperature. At normal operating temperature,
the level indicator is in the normal range. If the engine coolant
temperature exceeds the normal range, stop the vehicle as soon as safely
possible, switch off the engine and let the engine cool.
WARNING:Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the
engine is running or hot.
Transmission Fluid Temperature Gauge
Indicates transmission fluid temperature. At normal operating
temperature, the level indicator is in the normal range. If the
transmission fluid temperature exceeds the normal range, stop the
vehicle as soon as safely possible and verify the airflow is not restricted,
such as snow or debris blocking airflow through the grill. Special
operating conditions, such as snowplowing, towing or off-road use, can
also cause higher than normal operating temperatures. Internal
transmission damage may occur if you operate the transmission for
extended periods with the gauge in the higher than normal area.
Changing the severity of the driving conditions may help lower the
transmission temperature into the normal range. If the gauge continues
to show high temperatures, see an authorized dealer.
Fuel Gauge
Indicates approximately how much fuel is in the fuel tank (when the
ignition is on). The fuel gauge may vary slightly when your vehicle is
moving or on a grade. The fuel icon and arrow indicates which side of
the vehicle the fuel filler door is located.

Gauge Package (If Equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with an optional gauge package that has
one of the following configurations:
1.Transmission temperature
gauge:Displays the
transmission temperature at the
transmission sump.
2.Hourmeter:Displays the hours
of engine run time.
3.Voltmeter:Displays electrical
system voltage.
WARNING LAMPS AND INDICATORS
The following warning lamps and indicators alert you to a vehicle
condition that may become serious. Some lamps illuminate when you
start your vehicle to make sure they work. If any lamps remain on after
starting your vehicle, see the respective system warning lamp for further
information.
Note:Some warning indicators appear in the information display. These
indicators function the same as a warning lamp but do not display when
you start your vehicle.
Anti-Lock Braking System
If it illuminates when you are driving, this indicates a
malfunction. You continue to have the normal braking system
(without ABS) unless the brake warning lamp is also
illuminated. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer.
Brake System
To confirm the brake system warning light is functional, it
momentarily illuminates when you turn the ignition to the on
position when the engine is not running, or in a position
between on and start.
If the brake system warning light does not illuminate at this time, seek
service immediately from an authorized dealer.

High Beam
It illuminates when you turn on the headlamp high beam.
Low Fuel Level (gasoline engine only)
It illuminates when the fuel level is low or near empty. Refuel
as soon as possible.
Parking Brake Warning
It momentarily illuminates when you turn the ignition to the on
position (with the engine off). It also illuminates when you
apply the parking brake. If the parking brake warning lamp
does not illuminate at these times, seek service immediately.
Vehicles equipped with the Power Park Parking Brake option: If the park
brake warning lamp begins to blink after setting the parking brake on
your vehicle, this may indicate a failure in the parking brake system.
Seek service from an authorized dealer immediately.
Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power/Electronic Throttle
Control (gasoline engine only)
It illuminates when a powertrain fault exists. Contact an
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Service Engine Soon
It illuminates when you turn the ignition to the on position to
check the bulb and to indicate whether the vehicle is ready for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing.
Solid illumination after you start the engine indicates the on-board
diagnostics (OBD-II) system has detected a malfunction.
WARNING:Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust
temperatures could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel
system, interior floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly
causing a fire.

Stop Engine (diesel engine only)
This red lamp illuminates when you need to stop the engine (as
soon as it is safely possible). If the lamp begins flashing,
automatic engine shutdown may take place in as little as
20 seconds.
WARNING:In the event of engine shutdown, make sure the
vehicle is safely off the road and the problem is remedied prior to
returning to the road. Failure to remove the vehicle from the road
could result in an accident, causing serious injury or death.
If the engine shuts down, you can restart and operate it for 30 seconds
at a time, or until you correct the problem. For more information, see
Engine automatic shutdown warning light or tonein theDriving
chapter, and your engine operator’s manual.
See your engine operator’s manual for specific information about this
feature. Drivers of electronically controlled engines should know the
extent of the warning engine shutdown system before operating the
vehicle.
Traction Control (diesel engine only)
It illuminates and flashes slowly if you select the Off Road or
Mud/Snow mode. It illuminates and flashes rapidly during a
traction control event.
Trailer Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
It illuminates briefly when you turn the ignition on and only
when a PLC trailer or a PLC diagnostic tool is connected. If the
light fails to illuminate, remains on after you start the vehicle or
continues to flash, have the system serviced immediately.
Wait to Start (diesel engine only)
It illuminates when the air intake heater is in operation and
special starting procedures are required.
WARNING:If equipped with an air intake heater, DO NOT use
ether or any other starting fluids. The use of starting fluids
(ether) in an engine equipped with an air intake heater could result in
damage and/or personal injury.

Water in Fuel (diesel engine only)
It illuminates when the fuel filter/water separator has a
significant quantity of water in it.
If the light illuminates when the engine is running, stop the
vehicle as soon as safely possible, shut off the engine, then drain the fuel
filter and water separator. See your engine operator’s manual for the
drain procedure. Allowing water to stay in the system could result in
extensive damage to, or failure of, the fuel injection system.
WARNING:Do not drain the water separator while the engine is
running. Fuel may ignite if the separator is drained while the
engine is running or the vehicle is moving.

STARTING A DIESEL ENGINE
WARNING:Operation of a diesel engine near flammable vapors
in the air may cause the engine speed to increase uncontrollably
and over speed. If this situation occurs, mechanical damage, fire,
explosion, personal injury or death could result.Turning off the
ignition key does not slow or stop the engine due to uncontrollable
fueling of the engine through flammable vapors being drawn into
the engine air inlet.Operation of components such as starter,
alternator, electric motors, etc. and static electricity could also ignite
flammable vapors.
Do not operate the truck in the possible presence of flammable vapors
unless both a complete hazard analysis is performed and necessary
additional safety processes and/or equipment such as vapor testing, air
intake shutoff devices, ventilation, etc. are utilized. The operator is
responsible for using those processes and/or equipment to ensure that
the diesel engine and all other components on the truck can be
operated safely under the specific conditions and hazards that may be
encountered.
WARNING:If equipped with an air intake heater, DO NOT use
ether or any other starting fluids. The use of starting fluids
(ether) in an engine equipped with an air intake heater could cause an
explosion and result in property damage and/or personal injury.
Switch the ignition on and wait until the glow plug indicator
goes off.
Note:You can only operate the starter for a maximum of 30 seconds at
a time. Allow two minutes before cranking the starter again.
Note:On some engines, the glow plug indicator illuminates after the
engine starts. Allow the engine to idle about three minutes, or until the
engine coolant temperature gauge begins to rise. Maintain idle speed
until the glow plug indicator goes off. Operating the engine at higher
speeds reduces the effectiveness of the air inlet heater.
Note:When starting a cold engine, increase the engine RPM slowly to
make sure adequate lubrication is available to the bearings.
